What I am up to....
I am taking a course called Fermentation Mastery; The Secret to Ending Your Gut's Freak Out with Food, with one of my colleages Summer Bock. In the class I will be learning how to make different ferements such as miso, fermented vegetables like kimchi and sauerkraut, kifir and kombucha.  I will also be learning how to use these traditional foods to rebuild the intestinal flora and  how this can heal your digestive system. I will be be sharing this with you in the up coming weeks, it is very exciting.
In this issue there is a video to make Millet Mash.  Also, check out the breathing exercise I have included, it is something you might want to try.  You can do it any time you feel off-centered.

 

What is the best grain for  your belly? 

 

Millet it is considered to be one of the least allergenic and most digestible grains available so it is one of the best grains to eat if you have any stomach issues.

While millet looks and acts like a grain it is really a seed.

It is one of the oldest grains and is mentioned in the bible and was used in those times to make bread It was prized by the ancient Chinese as early as 2700 BC before they switched over to rice as the dominant grain. It is a significant part of the diet in India, Greece, Africa and Egypt. It grows in the hot dry climates of India and Africa that is not conducive to rice and wheat.

You commonly see it in bird food but is really great for people. It is inexpensive and packet with nutrients.

Centering Breath Exercise

  

I learned how to do this from Gay Hendrix, www.hendrix.com,  a fabulous teacher.  I use it whenever I feel off center and it puts me back into harmony again. Our life is so full of challenges, it is so easy to get knocked off-center.  This exercise will give you a reliable way to deal with those challenges.  It only takes about 2 minutes.  You can do it anywhere.

 

 

*Begin by breathing slowly and gently all the way out, then pause and wait to breathe in again until your body tells you it needs a breath.  This will allow the oxygen/CO2 ration in you body to balance itself.  This is the Centering Breath.

 

*You might wait ten seconds or thirty seconds or longer before your body needs a breath.  Don't wait so long that it feels effortful.  When you body needs a breath, gently let the air in and resume yout regular breathing cycle.  

 

*After a few cycles of ruglar breathing, do a second Centering Breath.

 

*Breathe slowly ang gently all the way out, then pause and wait to breathe in again until your body tells you it needs a breath.  Don't wait so long that it feels effortful.  When your body needs a breath, gently let the air in a resume your regular breathing cycle.

 

*After a few cycles of regular breathing do a third Centering Breath

 

*Breath slowlly and gently all the way out, then pause and wait to breathe in again until your body tells you it needs a breath.  Don't wait so long that is feels effortful.   When you body needs a breath, gently let the air in and resume your regular breathing cycle.
